ABSTRACT: Whole-transcriptome survey of gene expression differences between germ-free (GF) and conventionally raised (CONV-R) mice. To assess the role of toll-like receptor signalling, both wild-type and Myd88 -/- mice were used. Three different tissues were harvested from 20 mice (5 WT CONV-R, 5 Myd88 -/- CONV-R, 4 WT GF, 6 Myd88 -/- GF) and expression profiles were determines using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST platform.

Project description:Microarray transcriptome analysis of colonocytes from conventionally raised and germfree mice. 12 samples were analyzed, with 6 germfree (GF) samples vs. 6 conventionally raised (CONV) samples.
Project description:Germ free (GF) and conventionalized (CONV-D) wild-type C57Bl/6 male mice in the CARB-fed, 24h fasted, and 30d trained states; plus GF and CONV-D CARB-fed Ppara-/- mice. CARB-fed indicates a standard polysaccharide-rich mouse chow diet. CONV-D mice are those that received a microbiota transplant from conventionally raised mice 2-3 weeks before experiment was initiated Experiment Overall Design: Hearts from six to ten week-old GF and CONV-D mice, from the following eight treatment groups (GF, CONV-D) X (CARB-fed [wild-type], 24h fast [wild-type], 30d trained [wild-type], Ppara-/- [CARB-fed])

Project description:In this study we performed MeRIP-Seq to study N6-methyl adenosine (m6A) and and N6,2′ -O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modification of mRNA. We investigated the effect of the microbiota on the transcriptome and epitranscriptomic modifications in murine liver and cecum. We compared m6A/m modification profiles in cecum of conventionally raised (CONV) and germ-free (GF) mice. We additionally included GF mice colonised with the flora of CONV mice for four weeks (ex-GF), for which show that they exhibit similar patterns of the most abundant genera of gut bacteria as CONV mice. We added mice treated with several antibiotics to deplete the gut flora (abx)and vancomycin treated mice in which the genera Akkermansia, Escherichia/Shigella and Lactobacillus were enriched. Furthermore, we included GF mice colonised with the commensal bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (Am), Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Escherichia coli Nissle (Ec) and analysed their m6A/m modification profiles. In addition, we analysed changes in m6A/m- modified liver RNA for CONV, GF, and Am, Lp and Ec mice.
Project description:Intestinal epithelial cells were isolated from total small intestine of each four 28-day old conventionally raised (conv) and germ-free (GF) bred C57BL/6 mice (protocol according to: Lotz et al., J. Exp Med. 2006). Total RNA was isolated by TriZol and ist purity was examined using a Bioanalyszer. We used microarrays to comparatively detail the global gene expression in primary total isolated intestinal epithelial cells. Four biological replicates from isolated intestinal epithelial cells obtained from each 4 germ-free bred and conventionally raised mice. Colour change.
